DLP unPlanner - Monthly Pocket Picks

This month I combined my pockets for the PACs and my "monthly pocket picks."

This first photo shows the first two weeks' PACs in the top pockets and a DC postcard in the larger bottom pocket.

Here are the last two week's PACs on top and ephemera from our US Capitol tours on the back of the postcard. I made a "flip" with two photos - one inside Congresswoman Grisham's office and one on the Capitol balcony - attaching with washi tape.

Photo Flip

I used a second page protector without pockets and fused areas to fit my ephemera.

On the front I added some tags from some "happy mail," a shaker pocket with some shells from Florida, photos and bits and pieces from Orlando,  and our plane, train and subway tickets for DC.

The back contains photos and a map of the National Mall in DC.  The map was long so I folded it in thirds and slit the side of the protector so it would fold up on the outside of the pocket.

Here is the map unfolded (the back is attached to the ticket stubs).

And here is the back of the map covered with "under paper" and photos.

There was a lot to document this month and I'm happy to be caught up. Now on to June.

DLP unPlanner 2016 - March Week 2

With all the babysitting and travel we've been doing lately, I seem to get behind in posting my weekly planner spreads on the blog, but I am keeping current with it.

March - Week 2

Art Challenge - Add leaves, real or drawn

Dare 2B card with list/word

For this week I continued using the horizontal format and printed on kraft card stock. I added artist paper for the "spine" and the scallops and stamped green circles and white flowers here and there. The tiny green felt bow clip is from the new Illustrated Faith line with Bella Blvd.

For the PAC card I drew a maple leaf with an orange oil pastel crayon (which is not water-soluble) and then filled the leaf with green and yellow watercolors. The background is also watercolor. Very simple but I did meet the art challenge.

I added this PAC with the first week's card to a page protector that I cut in half. I used washi tape on the spine and sewed hand-dyed ribbon to the top of the pockets. (Sorry for the glare on the plastic.)

Last month I didn't do a Dare 2B card so this month I decided to add one. My word is Grateful and  I listed and journaled about five things I am most thankful for.  The divider is a row of tiny square stickers which I doodled around. The five headings are strips of artist paper which are glued over the printed headers.
